Chapter 2127: The Sage Awakens on the Altar vs. The Tomb-Robbing Woman (Part 22)
After taking one last look, confirming that Chen Xiaoxiao was truly reduced to nothing, Gu Shengyin turned to leave.
Suddenly, a warm body pressed up against her from behind.
Qing Yao, slightly aggrieved: "I helped you a lot, don’t you..."
"Thank you."
Gu Shengyin interrupted him.
Qing Yao: "..."
What he wanted was not just a thank you!
But the person ahead had already left, and he couldn’t say anything, so he could only follow along.
Qing Yao found this feeling quite strange.
He had never felt this way before, because since childhood, relying on the advantages of his looks, he had never tasted the feeling of rejection.
He always used a light smile to dazzle that person until they were disoriented, and after enjoying enough of others’ adoration and admiration, he would use those same affectionate eyes and gentle smile to unhesitatingly utter words of rejection.
Yet this time it was completely reversed.
For the first time, he cared so much for a woman, but this woman didn’t understand his feelings at all and wanted nothing but to get rid of him.
Qing Yao couldn’t help but touch his face, wondering to himself, is it because I’m getting older that my charm has diminished?
Because of this thought, the next day when they left the small town, Qing Yao used a bit of his allure.
The result was obvious; upon leaving the town, his storage ring was filled with things gifted by young girls and maidens.

Items like scented silk handkerchiefs and food...
The heart of the Ancient Mystic Fox was satisfied, arriving at a conclusion: it’s not that his charm had diminished, it’s simply that Huang Tian was too clueless about romance!
Gu Shengyin watched as the peacock-like male fox flaunted outside, internally sneering coldly.
If you’re so fond of attracting attention, go ahead and attract away!
The two continued deeper into the mountains.
These past two days, as Gu Shengyin’s numbness gradually faded, she refused Qing Yao’s offer to carry her and insisted on moving on her own.
Qing Yao huffed: "You’re truly oblivious to your fortunate position. So many women wish to touch this king, but I won’t let them. Only you..."
Gu Shengyin glanced at him and replied: "Do you know what has become of the men who wanted to touch me?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Yao subconsciously felt something was off, yet still asked: "What’s become of them?"
Gu Shengyin coldly smiled: "I’m afraid even their graves can’t be found."
Qing Yao: "..."
He calmly said: "You must be lying to me."
He looked at the woman before him closely, she didn’t seem like the kind to wantonly kill innocents.
Gu Shengyin said calmly: "Everything I say is true, believe it or not."
She truly wasn’t lying.
With Huang Tian’s grace back then, who knows how many admired and wanted to be close to her.
Now, thousands of years have passed by, could it be that those people were long drowned in the relentless passage of time?
The sea has changed, even names have been buried deep within time, who remembers where their tombstones lie?
Seeing Qing Yao’s somewhat suspicious yet subtly peculiar expression, Gu Shengyin laughed silently to herself.
Don’t scare you a bit and you’ll think I’m easy to bully?
It seems she completely underestimated Qing Yao’s perseverance toward her.
Even after hearing her borderline threatening words, Qing Yao only momentarily changed his expression, recovering seamlessly by nightfall.
